And what’s happening with Karvelas? Whatever Rehan Ahmed wants the ECB to do about it! I know it wasnt directed at him but he seemed to be the most animated about it. |

At the moment our entire seam bowling attack comprises of Crocombe, Hunt, Atkins and + or - Karvelas.
I know Lamb, Haines, H-P and Ibrahim can bowl a bit of seam up but the cupboard is pretty bare!
Even the 2 new rookies are batters.

With no test matches until 10th July, you'd like to think Ollie Robinson might be available for every other CC game until then. By that time last year we'd played 8 games so we might get 4 out of him poviding hes fit but its something you can never control.
I think McAndrew will return, so we probably need to find a domestic seamer as well.

I hope you’re right about McAndrew, he’s had a great Sheffield Shield so far.

I think we'll see Pujara again next year too.

I think we need to treat Ollie Robinson as a bonus if he is allowed to play for us and assume he won’t make any appearances. Otherwise, things look rosier than they might be. |

Between his reluctance to play for us and the ECB not wanting him to play for us we will see very little of him (again). |

I dont think hes reluctant to play for us at all, strange to sign a new contract if he is. |

Late summer he will be a complete no go but he will play games for us early season like he did this year. |

I think it would be the same for any county, he clearly things he’s above it. You can’t really think he’s shown any inclination over the last two years to play for us? First it was tooth ache then it was a poorly finger! |

First it was tooth ache then it was a poorly finger! All i can say in matter of fact is twice last year he was pulled out on the morning of the game by the ECB. I understand why you have such fristration but you are only guessing and assuming and its probably slightly unfair to slander the blokes character on guess work given how much he has given us since hes signed, i prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt. |

Yeah that’s fair enough AB. He’s been great for us. I just really hope the club aren’t relying on him playing many games for us |

I dont think theyll count on any games form him and see it as a bonus as you say! But hopefully we can get 4 games out of him.

Shouldn’t think there’ll be many on here who give a flying **** about women’s cricket to be honest. You are sounding more and more like Filby and Grubby. Spouting irrelevant facts to deflect from the decimation of the 1st XI. |
